The male mounts the hen from behind and stands on her back. The rooster's cloaca transfers semen into the cloaca of the hen. The cloaca is a common receptacle for the intestinal tract, the reproductive system and the urinary system. A spermatozoa sac makes its way up the oviduct and is stored in accessory sex organ in the female. There, the sperm is nourished and released over several days. So the rooster does not have to mate with the hen each time she lays an egg to produce a fertile egg. Fertility only remains high for about 10 days before another mating is needed to increase fertility of the eggs laid. Egg yolks that have a germ cell on the surface are ovulated about every 24 to 26 hours. The spermatozoa fertilize the germ cell, then the albumen, or white of the egg is secreted around the yolk by the reproductive tract. Then the shell membranes and the shell are secreted and deposited as the egg travels down the reproductive tract. The egg is laid back through the cloaca, as mentioned above. This is the way fertile eggs are laid by the hen. The hen would still lay eggs if a rooster were not around, but the eggs would not be fertile.

In what way does fertilization in a chicken inside or outside?
The eggs are fertilised inside the hen, and then laid.
The process of preventing fertilization of eggs is called?
The process of preventing fertilization of eggs is called contraception or birth control. Examples of contraception include the birth control pill, Depo Provera injection, the coil and condoms.
Why is fertilized chicken egg not used for meiosis?
A fertilized chicken egg contains a diploid zygote formed by the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell, which means it has completed fertilization and is in the process of developing into an embryo. Meiosis is the process that produces haploid gametes (sperm and eggs) from diploid cells, and it occurs prior to fertilization. Once fertilization occurs, meiosis is no longer applicable, as the genetic material is already combined and the focus shifts to embryonic development rather than gamete formation. Therefore, a fertilized chicken egg is not used for meiosis.
Is osteichthyes a internal or external fertilization?
An ostrich lays eggs after the mating ritual. Therefore, the fertilization process is internal.
Is an egg from a duck fertilized upon laying if a male is present and has mated with the female or does fertilization occur after laying?
As with chicken eggs, fertilization occurs prior to laying the egg. It takes a week after mating for a duck's eggs to be fertile.
What occurs when pollen sperm unites with the eggs?
When pollen sperm unites with the eggs, fertilization occurs. This leads to the formation of a zygote, which will later develop into a new plant. This process is essential for sexual reproduction in plants.
Do roosters contribute to low cholesterol eggs?
the only thing roosters contribute to an egg is fertilization so that it can hatch into a chicken or rooster
What is it when eggs and sperm join?
It's called, fertilization... I'm pretty sure its spelled correctly.
Is fertilization necessary in the production of eggs?
Fertilization is not necessary for the production of eggs, as eggs can be produced through a process called oogenesis, which occurs in the ovaries of female organisms. However, fertilization is essential for the development of a fertilized egg into an embryo, leading to pregnancy in mammals or the development of a new organism in other species. In some cases, like in certain species of fish or amphibians, eggs can develop through parthenogenesis, where they develop without fertilization.
Is a monkeys fertilization internal or external?
Internal because they give birth and not lay eggs. If they lay eggs, they would be like a chicken. ~Savannah B.
Is aves internal or external fertilization?
Aves, or birds, typically exhibit internal fertilization. In this process, the male bird transfers sperm to the female bird's reproductive tract before the eggs are laid. This adaptation allows for the fertilization of eggs to occur inside the female's body, which can enhance the likelihood of successful development of the embryos. After fertilization, the female lays eggs that develop outside her body.
How do you develop an human eating egg?
The eggs we buy in the supermarket are unfertilized chicken eggs. Upon fertilization, the bird begins to form within the egg. Some cultures do eat the fertilized eggs of fowl with the embryo inside.
